The maker Marc Teyssier in collaboration with a team stretching across two universities in France have created a completely original accessory for your smartphone: MobiLimb, a robotic finger the plugs directly into your smartphone. The device uses an Arduino to interface with the phone or other smart device via its micro USB port, and powers a servo-actuated…
Differently from the small black droids that you have seen in the Star Wars saga, the mouse droid by Potent Printables acts as a sort of physical messaging app. It’s able to travel to the correct location, then pop open to unveil a scrolling LED sign. An Arduino Uno along with an Adafruit Motor Shield are used for control,…
Robotics is that branch of technology that is evolving more and more especially since AI is slowly becoming a part of our lives. There are many who study this field as a career and there are many who study it just for the sake of fun or as a hobby. The Ultimate DIY Arduino Robotics…
Dear maker Anthony DiPilato, that is forward thinking! “It’s just used for pulling the plane out of the hangar and putting back in. It’s stored in the hangar. There are some tugs small enough to put in a plane but this one weighs about 200lbs so it’s not really portable. Once the plane is out…
Arduino has today launched a global contest that challenges users of its open-source electronics platform to create innovative products that help advance the development of Industry 4.0 automation and robotics applications. The contest is being run in partnership with electronics and automation distributor Distrelec, and is hosted at the Arduino Project Hub. Contestants are required to…
How many of you have a Roomba Vacuum Cleaner at home? I always wanted one of these, but I never bought it. Maybe now I have another option…I can build it! The maker theking3737 created his own robotic vacuum cleaner as part of a school project. He was responsible for the hardware design, while a…
Buddy is a great companion that connects, protects, and interacts with each member of your family. It is full of personality and reacts to his environment through a range of expressions that allow him to better engage with his family. Accompanying the family in its daily tasks, Buddy protects your home, entertains kids and interacts…
SMARS acronym of “Screwless/Screwed Modular Robotic System” is a simple robot designed to the educational field. This robot is composed by a reduced number of components and it can be mounted without screws and without soldering any part. It doesn’t need glue or similar and it’s really cheap to build. “Another main point of SMARS…
John Choi, founder of advanced robotics startup Choitek and Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science and Arts major, recently released a nearly 100-page Instructable on how to build a full-size, 3D printed humanoid robot that he’s dubbed ASPIR, for Autonomous Support and Positive Inspiration Robot. The massive Instructable is divided up into ten chapters, ranging from arms and legs, head and chest,…
The Critter is the fifth robot in Slant Robotics’ LittleBot family of 3D printed Arduino robots, and is a walking robot to follow the previous armed and wheeled robots. And although walking robots tend to be complex, this guy is purportedly “easy and rugged enough for kids to build while still being interesting enough for…
Whether to enhance one’s abilities or to compensate for a loss of strength due to a variety of reasons, the idea of a robotic exoskeleton is an exciting prospect. Furthermore if you are able to create it for only $100, it will certainly be a success. The maker Kristjan Berce decided to make his own prototype assistive…
Using an Arduino board and motor controllers, maybe you can solve the pre-departure stress. The backpack in question is wheeled around by two motors on mounts made out of paint sticks. The drive train of this robot consists of two powered wheels, and the two original wheels of the backpack. The only change that needs…
